Factory Reset Protection
Adding a Google Account to your device automatically enables the Factory Reset Protection (FRP)
security feature.
FRP prevents other people from using your device if it is reset to factory settings without your permission.
For example, if your device is lost or stolen, only someone with your Google Account can perform a
factory data reset and use the device.
When a device is factory reset, the device will not be able to be setup without the user entering the
Google Account associated with the device.
Caution: You should remove your Google Account before shipping your device to Samsung or any other
service provider for service and before resetting the device to factory settings.
To reset your device to its factory defaults:
1. From home, tap
2. Tap Backup and reset.
3. Tap Factory data reset > Reset device and follow the prompts to perform the reset.
Warning: This action permanently erases ALL data from the device, including Google or other account
settings, system and application data and settings, downloaded applications, as well as your music,
photos, videos, and other files.
